Development of P2P Collective Intelligence Platform, one of the Collective Awareness Platforms

"coordinate all the best projects which are already present in the room"

  Glenn Gaasland     Relates to the Global Subject concept? - DVS
skreutzer: A first step is to collect/identify them, which could be an application, database, curated (link) list. How else would one want to coordinate them, if a single person intransparently has to keep in touch with all of them, keep track which ones are active or inactive, remember all the details and track progress for only himself without offering the projects and potential visitors/contributors/collaborators an overview (not to mention the bus factor dependency on a single coordinator)? Is Glenn still available for this (looks like he's not active here and doesn't have an account)? Who needs such a thing and why?
    Sahila ChangeBringer   Sahila ChangeBringer i wasnt singling you out/challenging you specifically, tho your pedantry is incredibly irritating and i find your inability to think/feel intuitively using your imagination to be very frustrating and limiting.... in my professional opinion you stymie the process because you cant handle/incorporate/go with a certain element of the abstract and that's about your own need to (try to) control everything so you can feel safe/function without letting uncertainty overwhelm you ...

as a side note, i'm a dutch kiwi who is now living in seattle, but i lived in palmerston north (manawatu) for 18 months in the mid 90s... small city set in a rural farming environment, farming service centre mixed with a university population, old money, cliques, wide disparity between the very few really rich and the very many poor, particularly the remaining Maori tho many white are also poor...

"forming the team for global change"..... hmmmm.... how many humans have you consulted as to what kind of change they want and need?

or are we going to drag the species into the "next stage" of our "evolution" whether they like it or not?

if i havent already made it clear obliquely, i'll be more direct --- where is the initiative to get CONSENT from every single human?

where is the initiative to ASK every single human what it is they want/need/desire/think about how we should move forward, shape human society?

and finally, where is the recognition that we dont have TIME to make changes to our "consciousness" over several generations because we've backed ourselves into a crisis where it's likely we wont survive beyond the next decade or two?

i'm not saying that the goal is wrong.... i'm saying you're going about it in the same way that the current batch of controllers and manipulators do - imposing what you consider to be a superior way of thinking/doing on the rest of the species without their contribution and explicit consent - which makes you no different to them 8h
regenerate our information systems   Glenn Gaasland   Glenn Gaasland A lot is missing from this plan as it stands now... First of all we need to get serious about our information systems. Humanity is living in a deeply symbiotic relationship with information machines now and will do so a long time into the future. Virtual reality has increasingly become part of normal reality, like an additional layer of reality, with huge impacts on human cognition and experiences and the development of human culture / memes / ideas / worldview...
Yet we are still using informational architectures which have hardly developed in decades. The qwerty keyboard is a prime example, the flat browser is another example, rectangular screens which still demand attention for hours each day is another example, software full of bugs and ads and distraction adds to the chaos.

There is no way people can get seriously organized around something as massive as the entire harmony of the ecosystem, if our minds and culture are held hostage by such deeply inadequate information systems. At the moment huge parts of the population is experiencing information overload and attention deficit and enormous amounts of distracting bullshit hitting their radar all through the day. Not even something as elemental as copying text from one place to another can be done seamlessly and quickly with these systems!

All of this has to do with human consciousness, ideas, memes, worldview, thinking and ways of behaving... maybe we could put it together into one concept and call it “Being”. How this being happens, depends on how we live, so if we live in a virtual reality mediated by machines and software structures, the way these structures operate will practically decide what kind of being and Mind is running the entire show.

We need to totally regenerate our information systems, update them from the core, if we are going to be serious about creating a global sustainability plan. 1h
skreutzer: If there would have been any seriousness towards, for example, the current state and general nature of our information systems, we would have investigated the subject a long time ago, but this way, it remains to be unsubstantiated claims up to this day.

Helga Ingeborg Vierich Folks, unless we can become focussed on restoring positive trophic flows in ecosystems, wherever communities survive the next few decades, we will not survive. This means doing everything we can to

  • increase species diversity and
  • stabilize aquifers.
Growing food plants and animals is not the point - these domesticated ecosystems are far too simplified to survive without cradle of regenerating common “wild” land that is in essence a forest garden.  1h
  Helga Ingeborg Vierich    
Killian O'Brien 41m my vision of the American plains is not farms and fences, but small communities dotting the plains at relatively short differences, in networks within their regions and bio-regions with (land?)forms created to steer herds away from needed regenerative food supply, but open such that bison, et al., can once again roam free.   Killian O'Brien    

Glenn Gaasland  Dimitri:

Are those the Success Criteria? - DVS

I would rather suggest the plan being to find a path which actually works, really well, for all without exception. Including maximum full system sustainability. That would be the essence of the plan, and the empirical test is simply that all those involved will in fact be happy about it, over time.

Agile Principles - DVS

Then, about the details for how this will be, is unknown beforehand, and does not need to be predetermined or micromanaged. This must be discovered.

What is actually known? Where may I see that knowledge? How to use it? At what situation and context? - DVS

At the same time we already have very much knowledge to build on, far more than we need, about what tends to actually work for experienced quality of existence. So this we can build on further.

  • Another part of the plan will be how to coordinate all the best projects which are already present in the room. Here we could imagine a mutually influencing layer between media and various real life projects and events and festivals and larger documentary series becoming a key system in itself.
Is it feasible and doable? Under what conditions? What are the roles of wars and conflicts in human history and future development? - DVS
  • Another definite ingredient in any long term plan will be total elimination or war and murders and self destruction and even unnecessary conflict. There may be a kind of conflict and competition and such, yet must take place in such ways that actually everyone benefits greatly and also experiences it as such, and over time, being the empirical test.
  • Another necessary component in the plan will be high degree of animal welfare.
  • Another ingredient is efficiency in using natural resources, each molecule having life after life after life.
  • Another ingredient is primary needs of people, again all of them, being taken well care of above a reasonable minimum.
  • An actually suited situation for doing activities, which are again actually experienced to be very meaningful and fulfilling by those involved, is another part of the plan. “Time will be well spent” is part of it.
  • Generally very hood (good? - DVS) health, physical and mental and all of it, again as actually verified by the people themselves, is a part of the plan.
  • Relatively long lives for those who wish so, also seems like part of the plan.
  • Self sustained smaller communities, which may also connect with other communities upon wish, using 100% clean energy, is part of the plan.
  • Very great communications, little degree of misunderstanding, no strawmanning or character attacks or endless repetitions to uninterested ears, but instead actual appreciation of the contributions achieved, with growing learning and fun for all involved, is part of the plan.
  • High quality food and clean water and necessary shelter and good enough clothes, is part of the plan.
  • People having an environment of social support and friendship and inspiration, is part of the plan.
  • Experienced personal freedom is part of the plan.
  • A scenario where such values are actually fulfilled, as much as possible with as little actual unhappiness for anyone, seems to be the kind of scenario which is needed. 5h

M Ichael Josefowicz Dmitry Sokolov If you want to follow Ishi Crew suggestion.."You need a 'team' to get the problem list. " I'm in. The approach will be ASkMATT. Each problem is a Point of View.

The problems I see in chosen specific contexts.

1. Flooding

2. Draughts

3. High Winds

4. Wild fires (There is a huge one today in NorthWest America.

5. Blizzards

6. Earthquakes ( I think the lowest probability but biggest outcomes are earth quakes. A large enough earthquake in the Pacific means tsunamis. The best tech can give us 9 seconds notice of an earthquake and about 20 minutes for a tsunami as a result of the earthquake.

The hard and most interesting part is that everything has to be context specific. An earthquake in China is different from America. An earthquake in the ocean is different from one on land or near the coast. A drought is different in the Middle East or the American midwest. 7 hrs

About meta-values to guide more effective action about global crises.

The increasing urgency and global scope of crises like climate change has incited discussions for how humanity can take more more effective action about these challenges. One suggestion was for the common adoption of 'systemic meta-values' that would guide decisions (LinkedIn: Systems Thinking Networks: https://www.linkedin.com/…/2639…/2639211-6301795618037727234) The suggestion triggered some discussion about the advisability of the idea, that highlighted its importance. The LI format with its length limitations of posts prevented a more constructive and 'systemic' examination. So it seems it might be meaningful to develop a more comprehensive look at the range of arguments, on a platform that permits longer entries.

For the sake of argument, let's assume that some meaningful meta-value or values can be identified. To assess whether and how well they / it would guide decisions about 'more effective actions' (About climate change or any other issue), questions arise, such as:

A) How would it come about?

B) How would it come to be 'accepted'?

C) How will we know what 'more effective actions' are available that could or should be taken?

D) How would it be established whether a meta-value applies to a specific issue?

E) How would such actions be implemented? More specifically"

F) What, if any, changes in governance (local and global), economic, production and distribution, education, decision-making etc. would be needed?

My post on my blog AbbeBoulah.com:

http://abbeboulah.com/2017/08/23/about-meta-value…ut-global-crises/ discusses some of these questions.


Suggested by UN

OMG!

Is it a Kid Talking?

http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/

http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/takeaction/

End extreme poverty. Fight inequality and injustice. Fix climate change. Whoa. The Global Goals are important, world-changing objectives that will require cooperation among governments, international organizations and world leaders. It seems impossible that the average person can make an impact. Should you just give up?

No! Change starts with you. Seriously. Every human on earth—even the most indifferent, laziest person among us—is part of the solution. Fortunately, there are some super easy things we can adopt into our routines that, if we all do it, will make a big difference.

We’ve made it easy for you and compiled just a few of the many things you can do to make an impact.

Level 1: Sofa superstarThings you can do from your couch

  • Save electricity by plugging appliances into a power strip and turning them off completely when not in use, including your computer.
  • Stop paper bank statements and pay your bills online or via mobile. No paper, no need for forest destruction.
  • Share, don’t just like. If you see an interesting social media post about women’s rights or climate change, share it so folks in your network see it too.
  • Speak up! Ask your local and national authorities to engage in initiatives that don’t harm people or the planet. You can also voice your support for the Paris Agreement and ask your country to ratify it or sign it if it hasn’t yet.
  • Don’t print. See something online you need to remember? Jot it down in a notebook or better yet a digital post-it note and spare the paper.
  • Turn off the lights. Your TV or computer screen provides a cosy glow, so turn off other lights if you don’t need them.
  • Do a bit of online research and buy only from companies that you know have sustainable practices and don’t harm the environment.
  • Report online bullies. If you notice harassment on a message board or in a chat room, flag that person.
  • Stay informed. Follow your local news and stay in touch with the Global Goals online or on social media at @GlobalGoalsUN.
  • Tell us about your actions to achieve the global goals by using the hashtag #globalgoals on social networks.
  • In addition to the above, offset your remaining carbon emissions! You can calculate your carbon footprint and purchase climate credits from Climate Neutral Now. In this way, you help reduce global emissions faster!”

Level 2: Household heroThings you can do at home

  • Air dry. Let your hair and clothes dry naturally instead of running a machine. If you do wash your clothes, make sure the load is full.
  • Take short showers. Bathtubs require gallons more water than a 5-10 minute shower.
  • Eat less meat, poultry, and fish. More resources are used to provide meat than plants
  • Freeze fresh produce and leftovers if you don’t have the chance to eat them before they go bad. You can also do this with take-away or delivered food, if you know you will not feel like eating it the next day. You will save food and money.
  • Compost—composting food scraps can reduce climate impact while also recycling nutrients.
  • Recycling paper, plastic, glass & aluminium keeps landfills from growing.
  • Buy minimally packaged goods.
  • Avoid pre-heating the oven. Unless you need a precise baking temperature, start heating your food right when you turn on the oven.
  • Plug air leaks in windows and doors to increase energy efficiency
  • Adjust your thermostat, lower in winter, higher in summer
  • Replace old appliances with energy efficient models and light bulbs
  • If you have the option, install solar panels in your house. This will also reduce your electricity bill!
  • Get a rug. Carpets and rugs keep your house warm and your thermostat low.
  • Don’t rinse. If you use a dishwasher, stop rinsing your plates before you run the machine.
  • Choose a better diaper option. Swaddle your baby in cloth diapers or a new, environmentally responsible disposable brand.
  • Shovel snow manually. Avoid the noisy, exhaust-churning snow blower and get some exercise.
  • Use cardboard matches. They don’t require any petroleum, unlike plastic gas-filled lighters.

Level 3: Neighborhood nice guy

Things you can do outside your house

  • Shop local. Supporting neighbourhood businesses keeps people employed and helps prevent trucks from driving far distances.
  • Shop Smart—plan meals, use shopping lists and avoid impulse buys. Don’t succumb to marketing tricks that lead you to buy more food than you need, particularly for perishable items. Though these may be less expensive per ounce, they can be more expensive overall if much of that food is discarded.
  • Buy Funny Fruit—many fruits and vegetables are thrown out because their size, shape, or color are not “right”. Buying these perfectly good funny fruit, at the farmer’s market or elsewhere, utilizes food that might otherwise go to waste.
  • When you go to a restaurant and are ordering seafood always ask: “Do you serve sustainable seafood?” Let your favorite businesses know that ocean-friendly seafood’s on your shopping list.
  • Shop only for sustainable seafood. There are now many apps like this one that will tell you what is safe to consume.
  • Bike, walk or take public transport. Save the car trips for when you’ve got a big group.
  • Use a refillable water bottle and coffee cup. Cut down on waste and maybe even save money at the coffee shop.
  • Bring your own bag when you shop. Pass on the plastic bag and start carrying your own reusable totes.
  • Take fewer napkins. You don’t need a handful of napkins to eat your takeout. Take just what you need.
  • Shop vintage. Brand-new isn’t necessarily best. See what you can repurpose from second-hand shops.
  • Maintain your car. A well-tuned car will emit fewer toxic fumes.
  • Donate what you don’t use. Local charities will give your gently used clothes, books and furniture a new life.
  • Vaccinate yourself and your kids. Protecting your family from disease also aids public health.
  • Take advantage of your right to elect the leaders in your country and local community.

These are only a few of the things you can do. Explore this site to find out more about the goals you care most about and other ways to engage more actively.

Glenn Gaasland Dmitry Sokolov I have read a lot from this highly interesting thread for a few hours. I will continue later. I did find and read a very enlightening article you shared by John Steward about conscious evolution. To me this goes to the core of the issue.

At some point in the article he makes the point that while our evolutionary process on earth has come very far, we are now at a point where it needs to be CONSCIOUSLY directed forward by humans, with a work of co-visioning the future we want to see. The global sustainability plan I wrote about earlier is a step in this direction, yet far more work needs to be done.

This is also aligned with Daniel Dennetts ideas from his last book ( “from bachteria to Bach and back: the evolution of minds” ). Dennett covers the broad field of cultural evolution and how we have now moved into the age of intelligent human design, particularly design of memes / ideas / informational structures, which is how the process of evolution itself is evolving. This means that the humans alive today are at the emerging edge of evolution, and actually the designers of it.

This seems to be the great missing piece in our current cultural global conversation : a compelling vision for the future, including a vision of a plan to get there from where we are.

In any case I want to share this essay, it is brilliantly written by someone who gets the core of the issue:

http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/.../Conscious... 3  19h

 


Peter Jones Gerald, firstly may I enquire on your thoughts on Conscious Evolution, as recorded here, starting with John Stewart ...

http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/.../Conscious...

Secondly, this is recorded so effectively by Dmitry Sokolov in his quest to provide rapid, structured access to critical knowledge.

Do you see a wider use for such structures, and are there ways to make this knowledge more shareable in the construction and curation process? At the moment this is largely the work of one very determined man, Dmitry, with perhaps others pointing to source material to kick start it.

But a one person curation process is a heck of a narrow funnel ... 2h

 

     

    Peter Jones Glenn, good call, lots resonating for me in these articles, Dmitry has collated a good few contributors ...

    Todd, maybe some facilitators in here, please see post above, FB has a number of very effective people, but we are not very connected at the moment ... 2h

     

       

      Gerald Midgley Peter Jones Wow, that's a lot of questions in a short email! Or perhaps what is manifold are the thoughts that are stimulated by those questions. First, the idea of conscious evolution is well known in the systems community. For instance, I am just looking up at my shelf to see a thick book by Bela Banathy called "Guided Evolution of Society". All through the 90s and early 2000s, my research community was plugging away at these ideas, but hardly anyone outside was paying attention. Conference after conference at the ISSS had grand titles reflecting the idea of conscious evolution, and there was a lot of skepticism at the time about it as well as enthusiasts for it. I sat somewhere between the two: I have believed in the importance of guided evolution since before I got into academia, but there were also a lot of people in the 1990s going to conferences making relatively abstract appeals to morality, Earth consciousness and transnational solidarity. There were a lot fewer papers actually reporting interventions based on the ideas, and I have to say I found that a little frustrating. I know some of my colleagues abandoned the ISSS because of it - they just wanted to get on with making a difference in practice, and saw the presentations of grand visions as so much hot air. Also, there was a bit of a fringe element for a while trying to make a religion out of this. I stuck with the ISSS for the most part, and now the world has caught up with us! I think climate change in particular (but also other global issues) makes the necessity to practice as well as preach conscious evolution absolutely essential. Having said this, I have three caveats. The first is that we cannot go into a conscious evolution paradigm with the old mechanistic belief in flawlessly pre-planned action - the complexity of what we are engaging with is so far beyond our comprehension that we need the humility to realise that systems thinking can help improve our understanding, but comprehensiveness is forever out of reach. The other caveat is that we have to be aware that there is a second pathway to a regenerative global community, and we will be on this pathway if conscious evolution fails (or if we have already left it too late). This alternative pathway is the consequences of our destruction of the natural world feeding back to eliminate and/or impoverish large swathes of the world's population. If we go all the way down this second pathway, I reckon society will be left with deep cultural scars that manifest as an implicitly accepted need for sustainability and stories told to back this up. I say this after talking with Maori in New Zealand. Sustainability and connectedness with the natural world is pretty well built into their traditional culture, but it hasn't always been like this, as the extinction of the moa shows (moas were osterich-like birds as big as a small house) - Maori hunted them to death before Europeans ever got to NZ. So they learned the hard way to live within natural limits, and so will we if we fail in conscious evolution. The third caveat is connected with the first one: there is a view within the complexity science research community that, because the complexity of global issues is beyond our comprehension, it will always be counter-productive to think we can rationally guide our evolution - we will always fail. I disagree with this, but that viewpoint is still worth engaging with. The answer for these people is always to foster local action and hope that greater sustainability will emerge overall. My own view is that we need multi-scale governance that can deal with issues at the scale that makes sense - so drive decision making to the lowest level possible unless this results in harm. This means local housing might be decided at street level, but reactions to climate change at global scale. When there is a dispute over whether deciding something at a particular scale is harmful, this can be resolved through democratic and systemic processes of engagement, with arbitration if people cannot reach a consensus. In this scenario, we will have a world where people feel much more in control of their local communities, but higher-scale issues are also dealt with. So conscious evolution requires multi-scale governance in order to be implemented effectively. 1h

       

         

        Glenn Gaasland This thread has been brilliant so here are some ideas to build on it further:

        It has been mentioned the academic system with traditional disciplines of research. A growing field of transdisciplinary research, not yet fully established, where the system sciences reside, still mostly in the shadow of traditional disciplines.

        Could there be another kind of “university”, residing in the open internet, which can build on the existing and mostly specialized institutional research, in order to create an evolved social and systems science? If so, how would such a science work? ( I obviously have many ideas about this as well )

        Peter Jones wrote: “Dmitry, I think we are much clearer on what is wrong, why we need to do something.

        As yet we don't know quite what we want to do, and until then, deciding who we want doing it is definitely secondary.

        Goal definition is the activity we need here.

        As Susan says, the big goal is ecological regeneration, but what are the small goals?”

        Dmitry Sokolov wrote: “strictly speaking we are surviving meaning not sure about being alive tomorrow. Next stage is thriving. Resilience and sustainability is how we transfer to thrivability.“

        The big goal can be seen as “Global thrivability”, which includes ecological regeneration and a sustainable way of life.

        Global thrivability can be considered as a world where the quality of life is generally very high, human beings are happy, the social systems are working, the production systems are working, resources are used intelligently, they are distributed where they are needed when they are needed at the right amount and in the right way, the recycling is close to perfect ( down to each molecule getting continual new life cycles in various useful contexts ) and nothing is wasted.

        There is an abundance of good food and clean water for all people in the world. This is a result of the mentioned highly effective recycling of resources, and also the result of new technologies being allowed to thrive. For example, most of the meat can be grown in laboratories, of brilliant quality, tasty and nutritional and healthy. Large land areas can be transformed into green areas with thriving wild life ( basically life national parks ). Vertical farming has also been perfected, so that food is produced in cities, and eaten locally and fresh which eliminates transport costs as well as the need for chemicals. Permaculture becomes a part of everything.

        Energy will be abundant from the best of the best of clean energy sources working in combination.

        Psychology is the most important. This is the goal and the means at the same time. There must be a thriving culture where people really care for one another and celebrate one another, where everyone is recognized and respected for who they are: conscious worlds of self-re-creating life!

        Unconditional love of all living beings is the only attitude that makes sense in such a world, everything else is considered as insane.

        There will not be any need for “work” in the traditional sense of “making ends meet”...rather there will be high quality meaningful and extremely interesting activity. It will obviously be adapted to each person according to their unique interests and talents and needs and wishes. There will be “work” for everyone, since there is no limit as to what we can do, and the work will be rewarded in many ways while also being rewarding in itself. Real community will be formed around such activity, community where people are learning and growing and creating new understanding together.

        And there will of course be very much beautiful music, dancing and artistic expressions. Maybe it will even be so that our entire existence will be like a kind of musical, a kind of adventure drama, a celebration of existence.

        Spirituality will also be a part of everything, it will all be spiritual and spirited and experienced as deeply meaningful, there will no longer be need for Sunday service, now every day of the week will be a celebration of the divine which is within us and everywhere around us and between. Existence itself is seen and known as sacred, as holy, as inherently spectacular in itself.

        Everything we do will be a celebration, a celebration of reality as it already is, a celebration of the emerging realities which are becoming and being created every moment.

        There will also be space travel and exploration going further than ever, as well as inner explorations of the mind going further than ever. Life will generally be an adventure.

        Over time we will expand our civilization into the solar system and far beyond. 31m

         

           

          Dmitry Sokolov Dear All, please consider the key facts and concepts:
          - about 90% of population lives unconscious lives
          - that corresponds to a low level of collective consciousness
          http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/.../Levels%20of...
          - which hinders our conscious evolution
          http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/.../Conscious...
          - from micro- through meso- to macro-scale:
          http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/.../Global... 28m

           

             

            Dmitry Sokolov Planning and collective action can be done if and only if a distributed collective intelligence and decision making will be realised in the scales, above. There is no point in micro-managing as well as in delegating problem solving into the levels too high from the grounds and location of the problems.

              Dmitry Sokolov I believe that conceptual framework should be sufficient for the Global Sustainability / Thrivability, whatever it is being called. Let's look into the meaning. The wording will be adjusted to particular locality and usage. 23m

                  Dmitry Sokolov Collective intelligence must include reflection. Reflection with no memory is not practically possible.
                  So, one of the first steps is building collective memory / ontology for each collective subject,

                    Dmitry Sokolov It's not up to any of us to decide what will be considered at every locality and scale. "meat grown in laboratories", "Unconditional love of all living beings".
                    We can only provide visibility to the processes and let it happen the way each of the Collective Subjects sees it appropriate. 17m

                     

                       

                      Dmitry Sokolov Proposed models, patterns and solutions can be collected at the Holistic / Global / Universal Ontology. But that must be a freedom of will and a choice for the actors at every location and scale.
                      Some of them may choose "democracy", others will see no other choice but "dictatorship", just to cover more or less full scale of variation of "political power". What is good for one level of (collective) consciousness can be destructive for the other. More or less same with education of kids: right content at right time. 12m

                        Dmitry Sokolov Back to the ground:
                        - meaningful conversations require reflection
                        - memory is probably the lowest form of reflection
                        - any conversation leaving no traces in our collective memory has no practical meaning
                        - the only prototype of the collective memory I know if LikeInMind.
                        The visible to me solutions:
                        - conversation mapping on LikeInMind until
                        - P2P Collective Intelligence platform developed 2m

                         

                          Dmitry Sokolov All the above may not happen at once. A viable team must be formed to move it forward. Too big for just one person or a shallow team.
